Bliss Acupuncture believes that whole food based nutrition is vital for maintaining wellness.
The food that we consume should support our health to help bring balance to the body. We help guide our patients through proper nutrition for optimal health. It is important to eat seasonal foods as well as eat the foods that best serve the body’s needs. In instances of nutritional deficiencies, we will recommend supplementation.
I have seen patients whose anxiety induced rashes almost disappear in two treatments. I have also seen acupuncture significantly reduce anxiety and stress as well as improve depression. It’s important to note that most of these conditions require an initial treatment protocol of 8 or more sessions. Once a significant improvement is reached, you can then move to a maintenance schedule
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), a number of studies suggest that acupuncture works particularly well on chronic pain such as back and neck pain; osteoarthritis/knee pain; and headache. It often reduces the incidence and severity of tension headaches and may prevent migraines. “Therefore,” the NIH concludes, “acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider.”
Researchers found that pain relief with acupuncture comes from inactivating the source of pain by modulating endorphin levels. Other area’s of pain that acupuncture can help are with:Muscle soreness, Tendonitis, Nerve Pain, Carpal Tunnel…and more.
The holistic art of combining Chinese herbs is a natural way of healing the body and boosting over all health. Prescription formulas are based on tried and true classical herbal combinations which are then modified for each individual. These formulas help to regulate the body’s internal functions and bring balance to the body. Herbal medicine can be used alone, or to compliment acupuncture as it helps strengthen the body in between acupuncture sessions.
Chinese herbs are selected based on the patient’s root and branches of illness as well as their genetics. These herbs are primarily plants, flowers, seeds, bark and roots, though some animal and mineral substances may also be used. Many of the herbs are adaptogens, which means they help the body adapt and regulate stress.
Bliss Acupuncture only prescribes herbs that have been tested to the highest safety and quality standards.
